The darkness in my heart you expel
The truth of your love barring its return

To be loved by you, pure joy
Radiance draped around my shoulders
Gossamer voile with threads of steel
Gentle, yet strong
         enduring, ever-lasting.

I once dreamt of ever-lasting love
An unattainable, unfathomable existence
Held in another’s heart
Held secure for eternity
Another’s life and happiness
         more important than my own

It was a dream I could never own
A dream to see in others
A dream to inspire
Yet, not a reality for me.

Being loved by you the dream transcends dimensions
It is slipping, gently, warmly, from beyond to here
I am captured in your crystal clear eyes
Held in the sound of your voice
Enveloped in the scent of your skin
Beguiled by the depths of your passion.

Being loved by you is a gracious gift
It is an honour too great for mere words
It is a state far beyond mundane existence
Being loved this way is all I’ve ever wanted
It is beyond my farthest hopes and dreams
Beyond my wildest fantasies

Being loved by you is all I need
It is all I want
Capture me, hold me, envelop me, beguile me
I am yours for eternity.
